lt is YFound in practice that as these heads are, nuoroA particularly adapted 'for use upon boarns having wooden bodies that in Sonie cases the mere binding of the clamp flange upon tho Siu-'tace of thoy beam is insullirient to hold the head Jtroni slippingon the beam when great pressure is brought to bear upon the saine.

'l`herefore to insure thisv head against movement a'lter havingv been set in the desired position 'on the beam l have provided a @Ianni-block Q9 having a Nomi-engaging face 3() enti-hiding inwardly through a rorresiponding;` opening* in theiiann'e 22, this clamp blorl being; provided with a flange 5l. through which binding bolts 32 pass from tho inner side outwardl wl'iereby when it is desired to j'iositivel)l beeuro this head in position on the beam it ig only necessary to screw down the nuts 533 and so forro the eligjap'iug snriaro or' the elainp bloi'k 25) down onto rho wooden surface oi" tue beam thereby jmsitivrly 'rippiiig and holding the head against nioien'xent on the beam under llllG lllUl.

Ailly improved benin-head is adapted to be conntrurted ontiroly of slieot metal: vory Strong and durable and elieieuz in it#` operation.

The foregoingr description is directed solely towards the (construction illustrated, but desire to bo undorstood that l rrserve tho privilege of resmrting to all the mechanical` changes to which the device susceptible, the invention beinfbr defined and limited only hy the terms oi the appended olaiinS.

l claim:

l. A benin-head foniprising a metal disk, a clamp .flange lforined oi5 two rin;T halvesr` each L-shaped in cross sertion and adjustably mounted on said diSk. uieann For relatively adjustingv said ring' halves on Said dish to bind the beam thm-oto. and rlanip-blork havingr a portion adjustably mounted on the outer face of said 'lannrand adapted to be forced iinvardly to bite the body ofthe beam.

beam-head roinprsinga nieial disk, a clamp Hang@ formed of a ring oi sheet. metal L-shaped in cross Section and adjust ably secured to said disk, means in said clamp-ring for adjusiiing the working dialneter, a Clanip block extending` through an opening' in said ring` and prorined with Sid@ flanges having adjustable means for forcing' said block inwardly gainst the beain to grip bind and 'fasten the head thcreo.
